Was Interfaith started by atheists

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by kentauros (a host of the Interfaith Group group).

in order to make a point? Or was it started by believers, so that they'd have a place for undisrupted discussions of faith? There seems to be some misinformation being spread about the origins of this group, so it would be nice if the people who started it could clear this up.

Statement of Purpose

A safe haven that provides opportunities for people of all faiths, spiritual leanings and non-belief to discuss religious topics and events in a positive and civil manner, with an emphasis on tolerance. Criticisms of individual beliefs or non-belief, or debates about the existence of higher power(s) are not appropriate in this group.

What would the point if atheists started this group be?
